Can anyone here figure out this brain teaser?

[BrownEyedBoy]

I can't do it but I'd like to know if anyone here knows how.

It's the Petals around the Rose brainteaser...

I've been staring at this thing for the longest time and I don't get it.

 

[HelloAngel]

I am way too stupid to understand what the heezy I'm supposed to be guessing or how.

 

[{paintedroses}]

I get it

 

[RavenBlue]

I also failed miserably. I'm terrible at things like this. Arg!

 

[IWasBored]

easy.

 

[Adam'sbaby]

It's simple

 

[ClaytonMan]

I got it, think outside the box,

 

[impy13]

I did that in 5th grade, except we called it polar bears around an ice hole.

Suspiciously close to polar bears around an asshole, and no one needs that kind of drama.

 

[nbcrusader]

A good, simple logic puzzle.

 

[TheQuiet1]

OK. I got it. But only after reading that very revealing post by that person who was talking about the metaphoricalness of the name of the game. So, basically, I cheated

 

[alia612]

It took me half an hour.

 

[HelloAngel]

Can anyone give me a hint of what to do?

 

[{paintedroses}]

Its to do with numbers of dots

 

[meegannie]

he would always explain that the smarter you were, the longer it took to figure it out

 

[meegannie]

...or maybe that's just to make us tragically stupid people feel better.

 

[TheQuiet1]

...or maybe that's just to make us tragically stupid people feel better.

That's what I thought too, especially when you finally realise how it's done. I just wondered why I hadn't guessed it sooner.

 

[Dismantled]

I got it

 

[meegannie]

I know what it has to do with, I just can't do it right.

 

[TheQuiet1]

I know what it has to do with, I just can't do it right.

My sympathies because that must be even more frustrating than not having any idea at all.

 

[JessicaAnn]

Got it.

 

[Lancemc]

Ahh, that's a good one. Only took me about 5 minutes to figure out. Don't know if that's good or bad. It's quite a clever question.

 

[meegannie]

I got it. But I liked my way better.

 

[bsp77]

Yea, I got it. Took longer than I would have hoped for (5-10 minutes). I was thinking too much.

 

[cujo]

It's a test to see whose mind is truly... centered.

 

[daafish]

I got it after the first roll.

 

[daafish]

Can anyone give me a hint of what to do?

here's your clues.....center dot and the name of the game.

 

[VertigoGal]

I figured it out immediately, if you're having trouble you're thinking too hard...

 

[zoney!]

I was on the correct path...then got thrown off

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I don't get it and I don't really care to get it.

 

[prisz25]

Gosh man I finally got it!
I was thinking too hard....way too hard
